There was no Battle of Wounded Knee. What you are referring to is the Massacre of Wounded Knee. By 1890. Wavoka, a native prophet, had given the Indian new hope that they and all their relatives would return to this earth and things would be as they once were. The Army, afraid that the Sioux were planning an uprising,herded about 350 men, women and children onto the banks of the Wounded Knee Creek, even though the group was peacefully heading to join Red Cloud at the Pine Ridge Reservation. On December 29,1890 soldiers took all the weapons away from the group. One deaf native did not understand and in the scuffle, the gun went off. The soldiers reacted by gunning down the peoples. It was considered the end of the Free Indian.
